I admit it. I can be nerdy. For my birthday The Husband gifted me with an ipod mini. I freakin' LOVE the thing. Seriously. I take it everywhere. I was finding it hard to just chuck it into my purse where it clanged around with my keys and the camera, so I decided I needed to make a sock of some sort to protect it from my rough-housing. Know what was the perfect size? My lucky clover swatch. I just seamed up the sides and the bottom and ta da! I'm going to find a thinner ribbon for the top, but you get the idea.

Lucky Clover herself is coming along nicely too. I started with the back in the hopes of getting the biggest piece done while I'm still keen on it. I got gauge on size 3's the first go round so I'm pretty pleased.

Mariah pics are going to have to wait for a bit. For one, I have to find an adequate zipper (not to mention installing it.) And two, I have to wait for the Husband to help with a proper photo shoot when we have good lighting. Soon. Very soon.

What a wonderful gift! I think your swatch idea is a great idea, but I would consider getting an iSkin to protect the iPod and then sheathing that with your swatch. A great way to get your stomach in a huge breathless knot is to watch your purse accidentally overturn and your iPod fall from 4 feet high onto pavement. That tied with when I dropped it on the treadmill and watched it accelerate and hurl into the concret wall gym wall. I really am not that irresponsible, but thankfully, my iSkin has left my iPod without a mark to save me in my moments of lesser grace ;).

I really want to knit a cover/cozy for my iPod to make it look less neon blue (in a whim I got the neon blue case-sigh). I think yours is gorgeous!

Neat Ipod mini you got. I made an attempt to knit a cozy for it once but it didn't really work out. must have been using the wrong yarn. I'd like to try that lucky clover thingy though, it's a very pretty pattern. But I don't know if I need a whole wrap. I'll check it out. Zipper for Mariah? That's one reason why I'm afraid to try a cardigan. Zippers. Yeah I guess I could make one with buttons but I don't like the way those hang on me. Oh well, Maybe next year!!
